## Color Palette

| Role | Colors | Hex |
|------|--------|-----|
| Primary | Burnt Orange, Deep Teal | #E8751A, #0A6E6E |
| Background | Off-Black, Warm Cream | #121212, #F5E6D0 |
| Accents | Crimson, Amber | #C0392B, #F4A623 |

**Duotone Pairs** (choose ONE based on content mood):

| Pair | Color A | Color B | Feel |
|------|---------|---------|------|
| Orange + Teal | #E8751A | #0A6E6E | Cinematic, action |
| Red + Cream | #C0392B | #F5E6D0 | Bold, classic |
| Blue + Gold | #1A3A5C | #D4A843 | Premium, prestigious |
| Crimson + Navy | #DC143C | #0D1B2A | Dramatic, noir |
| Magenta + Cyan | #C2185B | #00BCD4 | Vibrant, pop |

**Rule**: Use 2-5 colors maximum. Fewer colors = stronger impact.

## Visual Elements

- Bold silhouettes and symbolic shapes
- Halftone dot patterns within color fills
- Slight color layer misregistration (print offset effect)
- Geometric framing (circles, arches, triangles)
- Figure-ground inversion (negative space tells secondary story)
- Stencil-cut edges, no outlines — shapes defined by color boundaries
- Typography integrated as design element, not overlay
- Vintage poster border treatments

## Typography

- Bold condensed sans-serif or hand-drawn lettering
- Art Deco influences, vintage poster typography
- Typography as integral part of composition (not separate layer)
- High contrast with background for readability
